Visit Website ↗ + Add to Compare Claim This CompanyOverview
3Point, based in Antwerp, Belgium, is a roughly 20-person defense-sector security consultancy that pairs security-architecture and cyber-defense-operations consulting with its proprietary Pointguard threat-monitoring service, handling dark-web analysis and threat hunting for defense, government, and public-safety clients.
IT services group Cegeka acquired it to deepen its Defense, Intelligence and Space practice, a strategic capability purchase rather than a pure financial exit.
Innovation Matrix Assessment
Built a proprietary threat-monitoring product (Pointguard) alongside its consulting practice, but no major recent product launches were found.
Delivers ongoing threat monitoring to defense and public-safety clients, indicating real operational use rather than one-off projects.
Acquired by Cegeka in June 2026 to expand its Defense, Intelligence & Space practice, a clear strategic-buyer validation.
Threat monitoring and dark-web analysis services are well-established categories; 3Point's edge is defense-sector specialization, not novel technology.
No independently verifiable customer names or outcome metrics were found beyond the general defense/public-safety client description.
Threat monitoring for critical infrastructure and defense organizations remains a durable, high-priority need.
Why CISOs Should Care
3Point gives defense, government, and public-safety CISOs an outsourced threat-monitoring and cyber-defense-operations partner, running its proprietary Pointguard service to handle dark web analysis and threat hunting that internal teams often lack capacity for.
What Makes It Different
3Point pairs security-architecture and cyber-defense-operations consulting with its own proprietary Pointguard threat-monitoring product, combining advisory work with a productized monitoring service purpose-built for critical infrastructure and defense/public-safety clients.
The Matrix Verdict
40/100 — EMERGING / UNRANKED
A specialist 20-person Belgian defense-sector security consultancy acquired by IT services group Cegeka to deepen its Defense, Intelligence & Space practice -- a strategic capability buy rather than a pure financial exit.
Editorial Note: Claims vs. Verified Findings
Team size (20 people) and the strategic rationale come directly from Cegeka's own acquisition announcement and independent Belgian trade coverage (Telecompaper, Gimv); no independent customer list was published.
